Why do you think this old man likes to claim he is a true UMNO member but keep condemning them and saying they lost the old UMNO way. It is because he feeds upon adulation from the opposition commentors. He has such a huge ego that he wants people to say he is so good, bla bla. So as far as UMNO is concern he comments are of no value just like from the opposition bloggers.

So, do not despair quiet despair as this arif guy is a joke! He blows his own trumpet just like Aljuburi!!

In the days ahead, we are going to have a field day exposing the hollowness and hypocrisy of these asinine anonymous commentators. They think we condemn because we are for the adulation of readers. If that is what one craves, then one writes slavishly for the perpetuation of hypocrisy, for that is what most of the leaders are doing now.

The above comment is exactly the type of attitude that will cause UMNO to lose. First, it imposes on UMNO the condition, that UMNO must be subscribed only by people like him. Haiyya- can you tolerate an UMNO full of foul mouthed rednecks?

For all you know, this fellow is not even and UMNO member or if he is, can he get past the AJK cawangan post?

Second, this is the kind of condescending and derisive attitude that bred arrogance on the part of UMNO and makes UMNO a despised brand name.

3rd, and perhaps the most fatal flaw in UMNO's mindset, is because it defines itself in terms of its relationships with Anwar Ibrahim and thus, the epithet Aljuburi. Well, it's going to be Al Juburi vs Al Tantuya right?

It is an UMNO full of people like this fellow that will break UMNO, because UMNO does not commit itself to long term thinking and accordingly, the adoption of long term mindset which is adaptive and more tolerant thinking most needed for Najib's long term transformation.

Najib will wonder in the coming months, whether his big ideas can be carried by a fossilsed thinking UMNO unwilling to adapt and adjust. UMNO remains a political organization full of this braggart commentator; it will be consumed by developments beyond its control.

If UMNO is full of this shitty thinking type of people like this commentator, Najib can continue dreaming about his grand ideas of GTP, ETP, NEM and so on and so forth.

Where does UMNO derive its support from in the main? It derived from kampong thinking people. Let's be clear- we use this term to differentiate a particular type of thinking with the adaptive thinking of modern people.

What does kampong thinking represent? It represents conservatism, reluctance to change and resistance to adaptation, set ways of thinking, ascriptive type of thinking. You may wish to recall that in ascriptive type of thinking, the holder of that thinking, places a premium on a person's inherited position, status and popular in Malaysia, a premium on bloodline as inference of capabilities and abilities. .

Hence the holder of this thinking assumes a person's worth is determined by his inherited positions and bloodline. The offspring of previous leaders are automatically assumed to inherit the abilities of their forbears.

Can this kind of thinking support Najib's big ideas which depend on what can a person do rather than on the inference that he has inherited the abilities on account of his bloodline and positions? Najib's big ideas depend more on achieved norms kind of thinking- where a person's worth is determined primarily by acquired abilities and on what he can contribute as added value.

The old UMNO way has none of this self-limiting thinking- people of all kind of thinking inclinations become active UMNO members driven by a desire to contribute. The present day UMNO people impose self-limitations as reflected by the thinking of the above asinine commentator. He wants only his 'type' to be the standard UMNO bearer. He and his kind can indeed be a bearer of sorts- the pallbearer.

As for Quiet Despair, he is a regular visitor here, giving him sufficient time, I hope to visualize a future UMNO.

The shitty commentator comes around as a sick commentator..typical of the present day Umno members. They are dis-connected with the majority of the malays who don't want anything to do with Umno. The fact is Umno relies heavily on the Borneo States to remain in power.

If you disagree with them or doesn't follow their line of Umno's feudalistic thinking, then you are condemned, bad-mouthed and they start calling names.

Umno is better off without such people. Malays hated Umno because it propagates the corrupt culture. You get rid of all those corrupt Umno leaders, then Umno has a fighting change to rehabilitate themselves. Right now corruption is synonymous with Umno and its leaders.

The word "logic" does not exist in his briain preferring to spew out nonsensical postings.

Anything, against the other races, he is for. It does not matter which subject .. anything.

It does not matter what kind of leakages, corruption etc (so far not even a single rebuke to his master, UMNO), he will be a faithful fighter for his master. For what? Just because maybe he got a scholarship and able to buy a house with 10% discount while billions are gone or plundered left and right.

Lately his postings have been of frustrations and incoherrent. Sometimes, can't make out what he was trying to pull.

He is now more careful not to make a fool of himselves maybe after so many rebukes on each controversial point he posted.

So frustrated, he even now "rebuke" a fellow more outspoken UMNO member who calls a spade as a spade.

Kampong or no kampong, hoor ideas can be put across effectively to anyone. How about getting the Malays, kampong or non-kampong, to accept the idea that English is important for their children to make a good living from their jobs? How difficult is it to get this across and at the same time assure them that bahasa Malaysia can survive on its own.

The fact still remains that UMNO has the kampung mentality. Otherwise how would it explain why the likes of Najib, Hishamuddin, Mukhriz, etc ascending to their position without an iota of competency or demonstrated intelligence.

There will always be asinine readers of your blog for sure. But I think you attract many more intelligent and thinking ones, whatever might be their political persuasion or loyalty. All your regular readers know where your political loyalty stands, and even though they might have different ones, they respect your position and try to debate with you. And that’s how political discourse should be. It makes for a viable and lively democracy in which ideas matter, and good ones should ultimately triumph over less worthy ones.

I must say I enjoy reading what you write – the incisive thinking expressed fearlessly, even when it often runs against mainstream UMNO ideology. Sycophants do society no favours. Merely toeing the party line like a loyal but dumb foot soldier gets one only so far, and not very far. Criticism has a purpose. It is to show those being criticized that there is a mistake somewhere, or there is a better alternative approach. That is the essential role of the critic, a function often misunderstood and under-rated.

But your criticism of some of the current UMNO thinking and policies and leadership has a purpose: to show up their flaws, and hopefully point UMNO in the right direction, back to the righteous path that it once travelled. I respect your intentions, though I do think that you are being too idealistic. I think the old ship has a broken rudder and is drifting towards the rocks. The captain is trying to turn it around, but it will be futile. Meanwhile, the passengers in the first class cabins are partying away, without a care as to where the ship might be going so long as they are having a good time. As for the majority of the poor passengers in the cramped, windowless decks below, they are pitifully ignorant of the fate awaiting them.

"As for Quiet Despair, he is a regular visitor here, giving him sufficient time, I hope to visualize a future UMNO."

If he had a 'faculty of reasoning'he would have visualized a future UMNO from all your postings. He just cannot.This is one commentator whom I had ignored all along as not worthy of a rebuttal.None are so blind as those who do not want to see and none are so deaf as those who do not want to hear. And he is the one.Dato, you should ignored this imbecile who cannot differentiate between good and evil.

I believe UMNO acts more like a society rather than a political party.

A society whose priority is the welfare of its members because its leaders depend on the contentment of its members to be elected.

Malays flocked to UMNO because of the actual and perceived advantages it offers to members compared to non-members; hence the term UMNOputra vs bumiputra.

But Malaysia has changed. As long as UMNO leaders and members think like a society rather than like a true political party (which focuses on the contentment of the rakyat), UMNO will continue its slide downhill...

You mean you mind what the anon commentator said about you in defending me from your rabid Anu-war sympathizers?

Please don't Sak. Mr Anon is just responding to the barrage of criticisms against BN with your series of postings lately.

He sees me as the only one defender of UMNO and saw it fit to attack you being an UMNO strongman.

You see so many BN haters here and it makes you wonder where are the UMNO supporters.

I do not like to go accusing them as PKR paid cyber- troopers which they are so fond of branding us when we post comments in Pro-Pakatan blogs.

I just regard them as asinine immature guys who just join in the crowd. Safety in numbers. They don't belong to any party but just dislike UMNO, pure and simple.

Fine. But have a mature discourse.

You can see them gloating aha here's an UMNO blogger who is critical of the party. Best man, can taruk abis-abis.

Of course I bear the brunt since I am the only one with differing views.

For me, I love provoking them being the agen provocateur like the French said. What is fair to the goose is fair to the gander.

You must have noticed that you are the flavor now but when you are for BN, wow you are the pariah. Which I see will come soon. And the brick-bats will come.

And most of the comments are personal and did not contribute to intelligent discourse.

Guys and gals, I am not despairing of anyone be it you or Sak.

I am proud that whatever predictions I made with regard to all the by-elections are spot on.

And I am never vulgar to anyone. To gsk I just told me if other people use Listerine moutwash, he needs Harpic to rid of his foul-mouth.

Hey, we are invisible people, don't even know each other and our paths will not crossed. So why get worked up over each other? Sticks and stones.....

One Malaysian

That's a very good comment. I wish the others see it as you do. We are hear to exhange views and not attacking other people.

All the Anons

Which school did you go to? Didnt you learn reading and comprehension?

It's not about me. It's about Mr Anon. I have no problems with Sak. When did I cross swords with him?

Anon 14.30

The foul-mouthed ones are the PKR people like you who imitate the supreme leader.UMNO is the quintessial Malay berbudi bahasa and bersopan santun.We don't come to other people's blog and be kurang ajar.

School and U may be world class, but the students that graduated may be third class.

I believe your pop and mum must have benefited so much from the Umno crony and corrupt system. They can put u in world class schools or U. They must be loaded..this pop and mum of yours..product of Umno's corrupt system.

But you..you come around like a third world class graduate. Sak is an Umno man..but he abhors and despise corruption and corrupt leaders. You seem to be supporting them and idolizing them. These are third world class mentality. Product of world class school and U...???? My God.

Bro Sak, Quite Despair is transparent. While he tries to potray himself as someone fair, just and non racist...obviously from his comments he is NOT one. He cannot even "respect people with opposing views" It says a lot about a person like himself.

good morning Dato',It is now between the good,honest,sincere,caring and the 'not so good',to put it mildly.the Sarawak election results have shown the votng public to be illiterate,gullible and greedy.We all want a good future for everyone in the country.If we are not careful everything will be lost in a matter of days!We are behind you 100% Dato'.Please continue the excellent comments and political analysis.we all love you.Regards,all the best.

Sak loves me, Haha. I add color to his blog.I provoked others to join me.Taib's swearing-in was fast and smoothly done.It shows that they are confident of winning and very prepared for the ceremony.In the last posting someone asked me why BN is subdued implying that Najib was unhappy with the results.Swaggering, boasting and gloating are never BN style. That is the trade-mark of Anwar Ibrahim.They know with the victory comes responsibility to honor the promises to the people.
